There hasn't been any mailing list activity for almost a week. Is it that we are all happy and just waiting for meta-data journaling? -- Keith Barrett Red Hat HA Team

BTW increasing ext3 release number to something like 0.80 may sound less scary to pointy hairs around ....

Other than a simpler ext2-ext3 option (the one sct described for tune2fs would be fine), this thing "just works" for me. Its basically a light weight nfs/build server for us. I haven't tried the "bounce on the power switch test" too much, but the couple of times I did it was fine. -- Hunter Matthews Unix / Network Administrator Office: BioScience 222/244 Duke Univ.

Hi, On Wed, Nov 15, 2000 at 04:58:56PM -0500, So crond is happy wrote:> > Is it that we are all happy and just waiting for meta-data > journaling?Not long to wait now --- I got the recovery bug I was chasing licked last night so I am now officially ready for a public release. :) Expect 0.0.5b later today. It will be for brave testers only at first: it's simply not as well tested as the 0.0.3b code. But it works for me, now, and it is a lot faster at sustained writes than the data-journaling mode (which is still available as a mount option, btw). Cheers, Stephen
